Nearly an inch of rain fell overnight and light rain is still falling this morning but the storm is just about done. Winds were blowing overnight as well and there are numerous reports of trees down throughout the eastern half of the state. A top wind gust of 62 mph was recorded at Blue Hills Observatory in Milton but most winds in the region were about 35 mph.

Here's a link to the full list of tree damage reports from the National Weather Service.

For the rest of today, the winds will diminish and the skies will clear but it will be getting colder all day with temperatures falling below 40 degrees by sunset.

We go below freezing later tonight with lows in the mid-20s.

Thursday will see highs in the upper-30s - which is about normal - but we start trending colder after that and there is a 50% chance of snow on Saturday although forecasters are very uncertain as to whether the snow will actually fall. There's another chance fr snow on Tuesday. What seems for sure is that next week will be very cold. It's like instant winter.
